According to Football London, Chelsea is continuing their efforts to sign Victor Osimhen from Napoli, despite his valuation of €150 million.
The club considers the signing of a striker crucial for the next season, despite significant previous spending.
Chelsea’s current Premier League position is disappointing, ranking 12th with two games remaining in the season. Manchester United is also interested in signing Osimhen, who has been the top scorer in Serie A this season, with 28 goals in 37 games for Napoli.
Financial Fair Play regulations may pose a challenge for Chelsea in securing Osimhen’s signature, as they need to comply with spending limitations.

Additionally, the absence of Champions League football next season could affect Osimhen’s interest in joining the Blues.
Another important aspect for Chelsea is reducing their bloated squad to accommodate new arrivals, as the excessive number of players has created difficulties in organizing training sessions for managers.
Meanwhile, Mauricio Pochettino has been chosen as the club’s new manager for the upcoming season and his guidance could help elevate Osimhen’s game.

The Nigerian striker is seen as the missing piece in Chelsea’s striker role. He possesses a ruthless goal-scoring ability and positional awareness at the age of 24. His signing would undoubtedly benefit the team next season.
Chelsea has learned valuable lessons from their past experiences with striker signings, and they aim not to repeat the same mistakes this summer.
